Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard when insurrectionists were storming the Capitol on January 6th, but he deployed them after one small protest outside of a Home Depot

But is it legal?! Trump has deployed the National Guard to LA, in a desperate attempt to distract from his epic failings. My latest Katie Phang News channel video on the laws that are implicated by this latest move by Felon Trump: youtu.be/HLJ1x933cLI?...

Watching this, Dan bash interview of some unidentified clown from Oklahoma is unbearable, not only because she is so frustrating, but also because he is over talking her, interrupting and being louder, and she won’t call him out on that either. Oh he’s a Senator. Yikes

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

“You know, if you're not safe in Honesdale, that means that they can get you anywhere.” The “they” in that sentence refers to the masked goons of the federal government.

This reminds me of the correspondence between Jefferson and Adams, if you dipped their letters in grease, set them on fire, and dropped them in a dumpster, which was also on fire.

Lord, I know I am not perfect. I know I stray from Your will. I know I fail every day to earn Your grace. But if You let Donald Trump sue Elon Musk for defamation I will clean up my act and do everything I can to glorify you. No monkey’s paw stuff please; I want to be able to cover it too.
